Common Core State Standards for Mathematics (CCSS-M) / PARCC Model Content Frameworks — national
PARCC was a multistate assessment system built around the Common Core-era PARCC mathematics model content frameworks rather than a separate proprietary standards set. Its math structure is organized by grade/course and aligned to CCSS-M content categories and model content frameworks.
No single published PARCC weighting table was located in the accessible sources used here.
Two parallel lines are cut by a transversal. Same-side interior angles measure and . What is the value of ?
Same-side interior angles are supplementary: , so and .
Which transformation takes a line segment over a perpendicular bisector so that the segment maps directly onto itself?
A reflection is a rigid transformation that maps the points from a preimage, over a line of reflection, to the points of an image that are equidistant to the line. In this example, that line is the perpendicular bisector of a line segment from a point to its image, so the segment maps onto itself.
Two parallel lines are cut by a transversal. A linear pair of adjacent angles measure and . What is the measure of the larger angle?
A linear pair is supplementary: , so and . The angles are and , so the larger is .
Which transformation turns a figure around a fixed point so that all points remain equidistant from that point?
A rotation is a rigid transformation that turns a figure around a fixed point, called a center of rotation, by a specific angle in a specific direction. All points remain equidistant from the center of rotation, keeping the image congruent to the preimage. In this example, that angle is
In isosceles , the vertex angle measures and each base angle measures . What is the measure of each base angle?
The three angles sum to : , so and . Each base angle is .
Which transformation moves every point of a figure exactly cm in the same direction?
A translation is a rigid transformation that moves every point of a figure the exact same distance in the same direction. Since all points in the image remain equidistant from the points in the preimage, the figure remains congruent. In this example, that distance is cm.
In , , , and . What is the measure of the largest angle of the triangle?
The angles sum to : , so and . The angles are , , and , so the largest is .
Which transformation maps each point of a line segment over a perpendicular bisector so that they map onto the same line segment, keeping the image the same?
A reflection is a rigid transformation that maps the points from a preimage, over a line of reflection, to the points of an image that are equidistant to the line. In this example, that line is the perpendicular bisector of a line segment from a point to its image, so the points map onto the same line segment, keeping the image the same.
